Have you read this news ? I've tried it a bit. It seems a great tool to add link, img, or link + img to our post at blogger. Finally I don't have to buy any WP plugin to make posting easier
That's right. I love it, in fact I've just blogged about it. It will definitely hit the pockets of plugin developers very hard.
is it available for everyone??? Because for me it says that my regional configuration doesn't allowed me to add it!
it's definitely a good news for those use google blogger, but i would happy if they can launch some plugins for the wordpress.org bloggers as well.
Can anyone verify if using this on a blog that also displays Google Adsense will be acceptable or would it be considered a violation of the Adsense TOS? At least in the past, the Adsense TOS specified that their ads cannot appear on a page that displays other "contextual" ads.
Cool, I have made some computer blog to promote my amazon store before this news out. and I hope it would be more easy by using this feature.
Hopefully others will experiment and report back. I set up a test blog and it appears the "contextual" aspect is just on the back end to help the owner choose potential ads. The ads themselves are for individual products so I am assuming amazon and adsense can co-exist. This is the test blog: http://seafood-news.blogspot.com/
this is true. But if I remember correctly you had to have an affiliate and adsense on different pages... Anyway, good luck with that test blog
that's one of the good news i received from blogger.com, at least get another source to make money online. hi mecal, can you confirm on what you've just mentioned if we have to place adsense n amazon aff link in different page?
Sure, I found this: http://www.google.com/support/affiliatenetwork/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=156896 Which relates to Google Affiliate - of which Amazon is one. So it looks like its OK. I think I was getting confused with eBay's policy.
I seen it listed in amazon but wondered if it would slow pages down. I hope they make it for wordpress soon also.
I tried it for a few days, I think it's still in experimental stage that's why no formal announcement yet. sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not work.
I am experiencing the same thing. It seems like there is filter that limits the number of items per post. Sometimes I include 3-4 items with a post and they disappear but if I go back and include just 1 the ad will stick. In other cases I can include several products with no problem.
